COVID-19 Policy

The safety of our customers, volunteers, service providers, and staff is our top priority.

As per the current guidelines laid out by the government of Canada, participants, volunteers, and staff, are to be wearing at least a non-medical mask on the bus, when physical distancing is not possible.

Backside Tours Management and Ownership have chosen a staged approach to vaccination requirements, and also reserve the right to adjust between these stages at any juncture if deemed necessary.

Stage 1:

Following the current guidelines put in place by the bus company, the hotels, the resorts, and the jurisdictions, Backside Tours will not require mandatory vaccinations, nor proof of negative status, unless our service providers or jurisdictions move to require those, or if our Trip Organizer requests mandatory vaccination status, or mandatory negative test.

Stage 2:

Should the provinces, jurisdictions, or federal government move to stricter guidelines, requiring mandatory negative tests or mandatory vaccinations, Backside Tours will require any participant, volunteer, or staff getting on a bus to have these in place to follow the guidelines.
